INVESTIGATION TURNS TO KUSHNER'S MOTIVES IN MEETING WITH A PUTIN ALLY
"Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, was looking for a direct line to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia -- a search that in mid-December found him in a room with a Russian banker whose financial institution was deeply intertwined with Russian intelligence, and remains under sanction by the United States."
This could still turn out to be something rather innocuous.
MICHAEL DUBKE RESIGNS AS WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
No, I never predicted him.
"Blanca Martinez, who came from El Salvador with her husband (a naturalized citizen who lived in Storm Lake) and their daughter, now 5, has been at the turkey plant for two years. She earns $15.70 an hour cutting bone six days a wee, on the 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. shift.
'It's very hard,' Ms. Martinez, 37, a permanent resident, said in Spanish through an interpreter. 'I'm still not used to the cold.' At work, she wears three gloves on her left hand and two on her right -- giving her cutting hand a little more flexibility.
Speaking English would widen her options, Ms. Martinez said, but she has had not time for lessons since her husband received a diagnosis of cancer.
Ms. Martinez does not have time to take English classes herself, but the future she envisions for her 5-year-old includes going to medical school, becoming a doctor and then coming home to work here in Storm Lake."
This is what'll make American great (again) ...
"[H]e was incessantly aware of what he saw as his shortcomings. Throughout his papers, he seems constantly to be driven by complementary impulses: the feeling that his tools -- however prodigious -- are not quite sufficient to the task, and a hunger to specify the paths of improvement.
To achieve as much power as possible, Mr. Rollins recognized early that he would need to give up cigarettes, and he began to meditate and practice yoga well before they were common practices in the West. (He was addicted to heroin from the late 1940s to the mid-50s but entered a rehabilitation clinic and recovered.)

Page 2 FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE ASSIGNED TO DRUG TRIAL IS SHOT DEAD IN TEXAS
"A police alert was being broadcast this afternoon for a young man with curly hair whom neighbors said they had seen loitering around the judge's apartment for the past several days."
And the assassin turned out to be Woody Harrelson's dad, Charles.
Page 14 CARTER VOWS TO FIGHT "TO LAST VOTE" IN CONGRESS FOR CONTROVERSIAL PLANS
"The President ... rejected a newsman's suggestion that he block Federal projects in districts represented by Congressmen who opposed his legislative proposals.
'I represent those districts also,' he said. 'Every one of the people who lives in any Congressional district is my constituent, and I don't think it's right to punish the people of our nation who live in a particular farming community or city or Congressional district because a particular member of Congress does not comply with the proposals that I make that I believe to be in the best interests of our nation'."
Yeah, presidents used to act like that.
Page 14 EXPECTATION HELD KEY TO THE EFFECT OF COFFEE
"A morning cup of coffee perks up the minds of coffee drinkers partly because that is what they expect it to do ..."
I expect it to do what it does because the coffee plantation in Costa Rica carefully selects my beans which are sold to coffeeam.com who roast them to perfection, pack them up in vacuum-sealed 5-pound bags, send them to me and which I then grind and brew and my expectations are then met. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
